Army of Darkness Batman: Year One Blue Thunder Good Morning Vietnam Heat Léon: The Professional Ronin Great stuff here , Ronin is largely forgotten - but a very good lower budget heist . Heat is THE standard for bank robbery movies ( “ the town “ does a great job a decade plus later ) and Leon is amazing ! Army of Darkness is awesome incarnate ... really a great list !

Most of Stephen King's movie are worth a watch as well, although the books are better , and they are long. Still there are longer movies out there.

I've watched Ronin, Leon, and Heat so many times. (Granted there are some scenes in Heat with Al Pacino I fast forward - family scenes - but love the movie).

Hudsucker Proxy, Ladykillers, O' Brother Where Art Thou?, and so many more. I would definitely recommend giving most of their movies a watch. wifey and I went to see Barton Fink when we were a'courtin' and have loved their work ever since. I can get excited about most of them, although not so much Ladykillers (its growing on me) and Man who wasn't there (gotta rewatch again perhaps). But the one I love and wifey is bleh on is Intolerable Cruelty...I think it is brilliant. Clooney enjoys playing the fool in the Coen movies and he does it so well, and I think Tom Hanks tried too hard to do something similar in Ladykillers. Clooney clearly doesn't take himself too seriously which is on clear display in his work in O Brother and Intolerable Cruelty. onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every car is going very slow except for the chase cars. Good movie though, yes. but if you want a great chase, history says this was the best at the time at least! or was it this one ;-) too much Roy Sheider! someone listed Blue Thunder earlier (I enjoyed it a lot) and here is another all time great movie with Roy in a bit part..."is it safe?" onlyweaknesskryptonite and Old_Man_Adam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT the Sharon Stone remake, the one directed by Cassavettes. A superior film. So effin' good, really. onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) obviously my favorite thread @Namtak! I feel like I am bombarding the thread so sorry for the volume! One more before bed (I am 54 and go to bed early! If I wasn't I wouldn't have so many old movies to recommend!!!) I love this movie, I can even understand Brad Pitt in it!

(google translate did that, not high school french) that is why it confuses me? I am not being snarky, please understand okay, pulled back in so here's wifey's suggestion, again forget the remake I have fond memories of Montreal from a visit when I was about 5, that would have been 1971. onlyweaknesskryptonite, Capn17 and Namtak 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of their movies do take a few watches to grow on you and yeah Tom is hard to watch in Ladykillers. Bird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Yeah don't go to England." Definitely a good movie. I would also recommend. Bird and Namtak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
